Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present the interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2025, as well as an update on our activities for the first half of the year.

Once again, I am delighted to report that we have achieved another period of strong growth in revenues, with an overall increase in income of 87% over the same period in 2024 to approximately £970,000 (H1 2024: £518,000). This growth reflects our ongoing investment in technology and people, a strong focus on marketing and a consequent expansion of our partner relationships across the industry. This level of revenue represents approximately 76% of our 2024 full year total revenue.

In light of this growth and the increasing opportunities available, in April 2025 we announced our intention to move the public quotation for trading in our ordinary shares to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM).  As a result, the Company, supported by its advisors, has worked on the admission to AIM for much of the period under review, which was subsequently completed after the period end.

We have been fortunate to have received strong support from both our shareholders and management to fund this expansion. In particular, in January 2025 we closed a convertible loan note offering which raised approximately £455,000, and in June 2025 we raised approximately £1,017,000 of new equity by way of an ordinary share subscription. These funds are being utilised to fund the expansion of the Company's business over the rest of the forthcoming year, principally in terms of the hiring of additional staff and marketing activities, as well as the provision of general working capital and for the costs associated with the Company's move to AIM. We received conversion requests relating to approximately £450,000 of the Company's outstanding convertible loan notes and these were converted to new ordinary shares in June 2025.

In advance of the Company's move to AIM, we received approval from shareholders to sub-divide the number of existing ordinary shares in issue, on the basis of each existing ordinary share of £1 each being sub-divided into ten new ordinary shares of 10 pence each.  This was undertaken to assist in enabling a more consistent valuation of the Company, making the Company's shares more attractive to institutional shareholders, and we hope, improve liquidity in our shares.

The continued growth in revenues, alongside the support from our shareholders has meant that we have been able to strengthen our balance sheet and plan strategically with increased confidence.

Financial Results

The Group delivered further significant growth in H1 2025 with an increase in revenue of 87% on the comparative six-month period last year to approximately £970,000 (H1 2024: £518,000). Our operating losses (including costs associated with the Admission to AIM) were reduced to approximately £443,000 (H1 2024: £449,000) in the six-month period.

The move to AIM has meant a one-off increase in costs which in the period amounted to approximately £227,000. Excluding such costs, the operating loss for the period was reduced to approximately £216,000. The loss for the period was approximately £592,000 (H1 2024: £452,000), which included a charge for revaluation of the convertible loan notes.

We have continued to strengthen our team through the hiring of additional key staff in sales, marketing and compliance to deliver future growth. Our prudent management of costs and working capital has meant that our non-recurring expenditure has grown much more slowly than revenues.

At the end of the period, our cash balances stood at approximately £729,000.

The loss per share increased from 0.38 pence in the six-month period last year (as adjusted for the share sub-division noted above) to 0.48 pence in the six months to 30 June 2025.

Summary and Outlook

The first half of the year has been an extremely busy one and seen the Company's activities continue to grow and develop strongly. This would not have been possible without the commitment, hard work and enthusiasm of the entire team and I would like to thank them for their continued dedication. I would also like to thank our advisers, whose support and guidance has been instrumental in helping us implement our strategic plans.

The second half of the year has started positively but we will continue to manage the business in a prudent manner. Economic and political uncertainty continue to be significant challenges for many. Although interest rates have slightly decreased, inflation remains persistently above target levels and may be on the rise. The Renters' Rights Bill has completed its Committee Stage in the House of Lords and Royal Assent is currently expected this autumn. This Bill is expected to be the most significant regulatory change in the rental industry in nearly 50 years. We believe this reform of the private rental sector will be positive for RentGuarantor and our achievements in the first part of 2025 mean that we are very well positioned to benefit from the changes that will impact both tenants and landlords.

On 15 August we were delighted to commence trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM. Many of our shareholders and staff were able to attend the opening ceremony at the London Stock Exchange and mark the beginning of a new chapter for the Company. The long-standing support from shareholders has been hugely important in helping us make this strategic move.  We were also able to make a charitable donation on the day to a cause that is extremely important to everyone at RentGuarantor - Furnishing Futures, a charity that fully furnishes homes for families moving into empty housing after fleeing domestic abuse.

AQSE has been an excellent market on which to develop our operations in the public eye. It has supported the governance structures to grow the business in a disciplined and structured way but with the flexibility to proactively anticipate changes in our markets. Our move to AIM, a globally renowned growth market, comes at an exciting time for RentGuarantor and reflects our ambitions to develop the scale of our operations in the years to come.

In August 2025 we were pleased to announce a partnership with barrister, broadcaster and author Rob Rinder MBE, who has taken the role of brand ambassador to support the Company's mission to drive consumer and landlord education surrounding the important role of guarantors. The partnership will form a significant part of the Company's mission to further inform tenants about professional guarantors as a potential solution to help them secure a rental home, while also shining a spotlight on the benefits for landlords in a changing lettings landscape.

In August 2023, the Company entered into a three-year partnership agreement with The Lettings Hub for the use of the RentGuarantor service to its tenants. In February 2025, Canopy (Insurestreet Limited) acquired The Lettings Hub, aiming to leverage their combined technology and expertise to deliver cutting-edge solutions, products, and services to the UK lettings industry. RentGuarantor has since entered into a partnership agreement with Let Insurance Services Limited T/A The Lettings Hub part of the Canopy Group of Companies which supersedes the original agreement with The Lettings Hub. The Lettings Hub operates through 821 Letting Agency branches and in 2024 completed approximately 143,000 references, 13% of which required a guarantor. We believe this new agreement should further enhance our growth opportunities.

We have continued to invest across the team and are highly focused on delivering our growth plans. Non-Executive Director, Professor of Computer Science Dave Cliff, from University of Bristol, has increased his level of involvement and time that will be worked in respect of RentGuarantor's Research and Innovation initiatives, to assist in the technology strategy for RentGuarantor. Dave's expertise is in the area of AI, machine learning and advanced technologies. The impending changes in legislation will impact everyone in the industry and we are optimistic about our ability to seize the opportunities with Dave's expertise and experience.

I look forward to reporting to you on our progress over the coming months.
